There has been some ferocious correspondence on this a while ago, for anyone interested to check the archives. But the short answer is: No, there is no limit and it is NOT illegal to bring back copies to Aus. Aus copyright laws prevent you from MAKING or SELLING copies in Aus, NOT from bringing in copies from Bali for personal use. Indonesia does not join in international copyright laws, so there is nothing anybody can do about that (well, I guess the USA could invade them for that...!!)

Believe me, I've done some extensive research on this topic before we went to Bali. In addition, we checked with Customs on our way out and they confirmed my research. Consequently, we brought back some 280 DVD's (all in their plastic cases), and NO PROBLEM.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THIS
